Summary

Interventions may be a particular source of anxiety for some patients, and the management of surgical pain is still a real challenge. In order to avoid the side effects of medications, a lot of caregivers are turning to complementary medicines. The prosthetic knee surgeries are painful and anxiety-provoking acts. At the hospital of Montauban, to relieve patients' pain, we offer them a therapeutic regimen with regional anesthesia (spinal anesthesia). We also use accompaniment hypnotic virtual reality to the management of anxiety and pain patients.

Detailed description

Interventions may be a particular source of anxiety for some patients, and the management of surgical pain is still a real challenge. In order to avoid the side effects of medications, a lot of caregivers are turning to complementary medicines. The prosthetic knee surgeries are painful and anxiety-provoking acts. At the hospital of Montauban, to relieve patients' pain, we offer them a therapeutic regimen with regional anesthesia (spinal anesthesia). We also use accompaniment hypnotic virtual reality to the management of anxiety and pain patients. Despite a high level of approval of patients (according our satisfaction surveys) concerning hypnotic virtual reality, we want to evaluate our practice. Thus, in the future, we can invest in this type of material and make it available to a larger number of patients, but only if complementary care proves its effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotic virtual reality support on the patient's state of anxiety before and after prosthetic knee surgeries under spinal anesthesia.
